Plot a graph of y-axis against x-axis.
The graph should be a straight line passing through:
(-2,0.8) , (-1,-0.4) , (0,0) , (1,0.4) and (2,0.8)
The basic form of the equation is:
4p(x-h) = (y-k)2
(h,k) is the vertex
4(-0.5)(x-1.5) = (y-(-4))2
-2(x-1.5) = (y+4)2
-2(x-1.5) = y2 + 8y + 16
x - 1.5 = (-1/2)(y2 + 8y + 16)
x = (-1/2)y2 - 4y - 8 + 1.5
x = (-1/2)y2 - 4y - 6.5
Answer:
make a chart to see the difference between the two animals
Cut in half long ways and short ways straight down the middle
the a line from opposite corners each way
then a slanted line the hits the center would also create two congruent figures
